Mary Newcomb
On New Year's Day 1986, encouraged by her dealer Andras Kalman, artist Mary Newcomb, then aged 64, began to keep a diary. She wrote in its opening pages: "I wanted [...] to remind ourselves that--in our haste--in this century--we may not give time to pause and look--and may pass on our way unheeding." This beautiful new book, compiled by the artist's daughter and grandson, reveals Mary Newcomb as an acute observer of her surroundings, reproducing her copious sketches alongside more finished paintings and short diary extracts to draw out the many themes which preoccupied her throughout her career as an artist.

During the early 1970s Richard Mabey explored crumbling city docks and overgrown bomb-sites, navigated inner city canals and car parks, and discovered there was scarcely a nook in our urban landscape incapable of supporting life. The Unofficial Countryside is a timely reminder of how nature flourishes against the odds, surviving in the most obscure and surprising places. First published 1973 by William Collins Sons & Co.

The Adorable Plot
'By visiting allotments, I have been able to share people's pleasure in growing things.the form my gardening takes is observing and drawing other people enjoying their gardens and allotments, ' says Suffolk-based artist Tessa Newcomb. Her paintings and drawings of English allotments in their infinite variety beautifully evoke diverse improvised layouts of fruits, flowers and vegetables (and often stubborn weeds). To say nothing of anarchic shanty towns of distressed, rudimentary huts, the widespread use of everyday detritus such as gleaming discarded CDs to keep pigeons out of peas, and alarmingly vivid blue plastic water butts
